Gama Clothing does a Tokyo 1964 Olympics t-shirt

Tokyo

A t-shirt isn't top of many shopping lists in the autumn months, but we still think this Tokyo 1964 t-shirt at Gama Clothing is worth a mention.

It's part of the retailer's Gary Crowley range, although he obvious didn't design the logo for the Tokyo 1964 Olympics. That was the work of Modernist designer Yusaku Kamekura.

It's a slightly thinner 160gsm t-shirt than usual, with an 'American college cut' and double stitched hems, available in all sizes. £20 each will secure you one online, which seems reasonable enough.
